Keep It Pure In the Giving

It is not enough,
To keep me loved!
We all have questions,
Deep in doubt.
And saddled at times,
With a faith left behind...
To find a comfort in despair.

I don't want to be heartbroken,
And alone there.

Keep me loved!
And free to live my life,
Without fear.
I want it here to be near it.

Let me choose to not abuse this feeling.
Let me recognize it with a wish persisted.

It is not enough,
To keep me loved!
We all have questions,
Deep in doubt.
And saddled at times,
With a faith left behind...
To find a comfort in despair.

I don't want to be heartbroken,
And alone there.

Keep me loved.
Keep it pure in the giving.
Allowing me to have enough of it...
To send and receive more!
Keep me loved!
